Kanye’s newest album cover was shot on an iPhone

ye is the famous rapper’s eighth studio album released just yesterday at a listening party in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The seven-track album featuring various artists was also recorded in Wyoming. It’s only fitting, then, that the album art would feature the same place — I just didn’t think that Kanye would shoot it himself, which he totally did, and with his iPhone.

According to social media queen and all-around selfie advocate Kim Kardashian, who also happens to be Yeezy’s wife, this is how it went down:

Kanye shot the album cover on his iPhone on the way to the album listening party 😂🔥❤🔥🙏🏼🔥

TBH, I’m not even surprised. iPhones, or smartphones in general, can do a whole lot, and now, you can add “shoot album covers for controversial award-winning rappers by said controversial award-winning rapper” to that roster.

These new Ikea curtains fight indoor pollution by filtering air

Ikea has just announced groundbreaking technology that will not only add to your home decorating or homemaking ventures, as the brand has been apt to do; it will also help keep your living space cleaner by purifying indoor air.

This is Ikea’s Gunrid curtain and it works just like a plant: It breaks down harmful pollutants when it gets in contact with light. The fabric itself has undergone “mineral-based surface treatment” which enables it to destroy common indoor air pollutants like formaldehyde and odor. And since the tech is in the fabric, future products aren’t, in theory, limited to just curtains.

Unknown to most, indoor air pollution is a big deal with some living spaces found to have conditions five times worse than other parts of the world and a higher death toll than outdoor pollution. Mauricio Affonso, Product Developer at Ikea Range & Supply says, “We are creating an affordable and space-saving air purifying solution that also makes the home more beautiful.”
